Thanks, that's really helpful. I'm a heavy user of xylitol at present and find it okay but not great for all baking. Does Tagatose caramelise? That's one of the things xylitol won't which is frustrating for some recipes.

I don't know what exactly Jobs did, but post-Jobs was when I felt the software quality start to slide. I assume he had amazing attention to detail.

How does this app work behind-the-scenes? I'd guessed it had been fed a corpus of Hemingway, and was using similarity matching. Judging by other comments here, it hasn't.

Is there a blog post or docs showing using WASM? I searched your site but couldn't find details. I've failed to grasp if it's an "alternative plugin-engine" kind of system to extend Redpanda, or you're storing

It's great that Stripe supports this so easily. We wanted to move ~300 credit card details from SagePay to Stripe. SagePay had a minimum admin fee of 2000GBP in order to do this, and no amount of negotiation could shift it. If anyone&#

Can you go into how you use it on the server? I'm used to software I install running as a non-privileged user; how does bubblewrap help secure things?

I am impressed. After a graphics card failure I'm running on Intel® HD Graphics 4600. It's more than adequate for work, but in this demo the frame rate started at 21fps and dropped to 15fps

Thanks for the feedback, I hadn't thought about replacing Lightroom yet. I do like Lightroom, but the catalogue speed with 100k+ photos is glacial on my PC. I tried importing 30 years of photos rather than having multiple catalogues, a

What about a replacement for Adobe Acrobat Pro on (Windows)? That is the one app that keeps me having a Creative Cloud subscription. In a business setting I find it essential.

Oh that's rubbish to hear. I started out using Fireworks in 2003(?) when I bought Macromedia Studio, and find it's still faster for me to use than Photoshop for a handful of tasks. And the way its layers work has always been more

I'd say in the early days they were on the way to getting that mindshare. I had SME clients using them, where VWO was cheaper but they didn't like using VWO. When Optimizely hiked their prices and lost the smallest plan, all these

This. Not least because some of us have invested effort in singing your praises, selling you to teams, and used our reputation to promote your business, indirectly benefiting because clients are happy. I've been burned twice doing this

They put in VM 2 years ago - and missed off the suburb in which I and 2k others live. I'm not holding my breath... but I had VM before I moved here, and prefer the BT-network service to it.

This is only a few Mbps slower than my Fibre-to-the-Cabinet broadband in the UK provides. And I'm living in a town; plenty of rural areas are much slower.

TailwindUI is fine so long as you don't want to customise the blocks they give you. As soon as you want to do that you're in a world of pain. Example: I wanted to use their "Hero Sections - with angled image on right" wi
